What it is and why it matters
It is a client-server terminal multiplexer that lets you organize and control multiple coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, opencode and others) from one place. It detects agents in a sidebar and shows which are working, done or stuck, and because processes run on the server they keep running even if you close the window or reconnect over SSH.
Key points
- Detects and monitors multiple coding agents in a sidebar
- Persistence: processes keep running after you close the window
- Mouse support, plugins and remote SSH sessions on Mac, Linux and Windows

Academind 2026-07-16 Maximilian Schwarzmuller (Academind) presents it as a client-server terminal multiplexer whose killer feature is deep integration with coding agents; he highlights the sidebar detecting Claude Code, Codex and others, mouse support, plugins and connecting to remote hosts over SSH. herdr is a must use The Next New Thing 2026-07-16 The video brings it back as a top 10 repo of the week and describes it as a way to run a 'herd' of coding agents from one terminal, bringing to the terminal some of the UI comfort of VS Code or Cursor.
